<P class="title">SFX options: Modes<hr></P>

<P>This dialog is a part of the <A HREF="HELPSFXAdvOpt.htm">"Advanced
SFX options"</A> dialog and it includes following settings:</P>

<h1><I>Temporary mode/Unpack to temporary folder</I></h1>

<P>This option forces SFX to create a temporary folder, extract all
files to it, start the program specified in <A HREF="HELPSFXOptGeneral.htm">
<I>Setup program/Run after extraction</I></A> field and remove the
temporary folder including all its contents after completing <I>Setup</I>
program. The SFX automatically uses "Hide start dialog" silent mode
(described below), when performing these operations, but you can
override it by specifying "Hide all" silent mode. Temporary folder
with unpacked files is set as the current folder for setup program.</P>

<P>You may also set two optional string parameters, which define a question
and question title displayed before extraction. In such case the extraction
is started only if a user selects "Yes" button.</P>

<p>If "Restrict folder access" option  is set, SFX attempts to modify
permissions of temporary folder, so only the current user can access it.
By default, newly created folders might include permissions for several
other users additionally to current one. In some special cases it might be
associated with security risks, such as a local user able to replace files
in a temporary folder, even when SFX is started under system account.
Some installers might fail to start in a folder created with this option.</p>

<P>If <I>Unpack to temporary folder</I> option is set, you should also
specify <I>Setup</I> program. SFX ignores <A HREF="HELPSFXOptGeneral.htm">
<I>Path to extract</I></A> parameter in this mode.</P>

<P>This option may fail to work with setup program, which terminates earlier
than its child processes. Read <A HREF="HELPSFXTempMode.htm">TempMode</A>
command description for details.</P>

<P>Corresponding <A HREF="HELPGUISFX.htm">SFX script</A> command -
<A HREF="HELPSFXTempMode.htm">TempMode</A></P>

<h1><I>Silent mode</I></h1>

<P>By default SFX asks for confirmation to start extraction and allows
to user to change the destination folder. If you set "<I>Silent mode"</I>
to <I>"Hide start dialog"</I> this confirmation will be skipped. Select
<I>"Hide all"</I> if you also wish to hide SFX license dialog and 
the extraction progress.</P>
